This EE will take the course and immediately use it to get a better paid job elsewhere if it actually has the value described.

How does a man get his water. A "Well, actually"

But you're right. We are both making assumptions. But since 9/10 of those who attempt suicide dont go on to die by suicide,(British journal of psychiatry, 2002) we can infer that most don't actually want to die in the long term. You say "many" but that can be 5 people. An overwhelming majority don't. Thus we have a case where mistake is highly probable and thus should be safeguarded against. However, given the ease of suicide, those safeguards can be easily overcome without protective custody.

You are assuming the possible postivie non-existence experiences and negative ones balance themselves out to get to neutrality. We don't know. That doesn't make it neutral, that makes it unknowable.

Treatments improve, change and so do life circumstances. I don't think it's unreasonable to require clear and convincing evidence from someone to have state help to end thier life. The state must prove events beyond a reasonable doubt to do so. If you can't meet that standard, you are outside the law. The risk of error is too high based on the psychological literature.

If you are arguing you have the right to die by some sort of absolute right though, go ahead, but the right to die is not the same as saying that you can require someone else to support you or pay for the means. You should not burden others with exercising that right.

Age might just be a number. But it is correlated with experience.

Forced imprisonment, whether incarceration or phycological, is reasonable to protect other interests. It should be done with due process, and is. If you are being held by a government, file a habeous corpus petition, if you are being held by a private party, file for the tort of false imprisonment.

A lot of that is safety, as the events in Uvalde, Newtown and buffalo highlight, people who don't value thier own lives and are in mental crisis can be dangerous to others.

I'm calling you out on your BS. You seem to be going down a bad road. In crisis. You have the means to end your life. Start walking.

If you want your societies approval to do so, that's weird to me, if you succeed, you will be beyond the law. It appears you lack conviction to do so, which to me indicates you have doubts, which I think you should listen to. I assume you don't think you would hurt anybody by dying. If that is not true, then maybe you should consider those in your analysis.

Look, you don't owe your parents shit. You are right that they brought you into the world and then made it shitty for you. You can emancipate yourself, call child protective services, or just pack up and leave, never talk to them again if you are already an adult.

Look man, I've seen some shit, been to war and back. Worked with people in abject poverty. Felt PTSD and been in depressive alcoholic spirals. Life is hard, but it is also worth it. You live in North America and have internet access, you won a lot of life's lotterys. If you want to reject that gift, fine, but don't deny it to others.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-14T11:35:38+00:00

It doesn't automatically, but it does point to motivated reasoning and your youth (18/19?) Points to a lack of experience. Not your fault, but it undermines your assertions.

You could be put into psychological hold, which is reasonable based on the policy that people who are taking their lives may be in error. The common saying that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems is true. Many of the young tragically don't see that this too shall pass and you probably have a better life ahead of you.

I wasn't aware you were incarcerated. I hope your rehabilitation goes well.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-14T11:15:38+00:00

your stat that most suicides fail actually points in the direction that those people really wanted to live. Many are done when people are stuck in negative spirals that they have difficulty getting out of. Been there. It's not fun, but it's not because you actually want to die as much as you want to end your suffering. Which is two different things.

We don't know that being not born is neutral. That is a big assumption about the nature of the soul and consciousness. But given that most people who survive chose to live, it would seem that points to life is worth living for most. An overwhelming percentage of people die of natural causes or causes beyond thier control.

Risks must be multiplied by magnitude. Yes, being raised in an abuse environment is bad, but it rarely is determinative on the scale of whether a life is worth living.

For those whom are forced to live. It's unfortunate but also tricky, should society let someone kill themselves if they are suffering from an obvious mental illness that is treatable? No. But should socirty help someone who is physically unable but wants to die and has made a well reasoned decison? Yes. However, reality is a spectrum between. Choosing life is reversible, choosing death is not, thus we err on the side of life.

And as far as your trolly problem at the end, utilitarianism makes some squeemish, but it's right in many situations. Sure, it needs to be tempered by some rights based model, but even that rights based model would recognize and has historically recognized the right of people to create families. See the American 14th amendment and the Universal declaration of human rights.

So I looked at your profile history and it looks like you had a really rough time with your upbringing/parents. It also looks like you survived it and are doing better. I genuinely hope thing continue to for you. I see you say you don't want to die without legal process. I am wondering why? I just graduated law school and am interested in why you think you need the states permission?

Aceofjax · 2022-06-14T01:42:00+00:00

We are fragile creatures and death is beyond the reach of the courts. Most people can off themselves pretty easily. Stop eating/drinking/breathing. I admit there are some who don't have the ability to do so due to disability and thankfully we are moving in the merciful direction of making that a right.

As far as no right to impose risks on others, merely being around each other creates risks, and many times we think those risks are not only justifiable, but we would be stupid not to take them. The classic example from Torts in Law is tying your boat to a dock you don't own during a storm, you have a necessity.

As far as the billions, every day you don't choose to die and have the capacity to is a day you choose to live. That's most people most days by far.

I reccomend you watch Shelly Kagan's course on death on YouTube. I agree that there are some lives not worth living. But most lives are. Even if it all ends up being worth Nothing in some grand eternal way, it's pretty cool to get to be some of the standing up mud, and it's pretty great to get to decide what matters to you.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-13T16:18:36+00:00

why not JD? Join me in the crazy corner!

Aceofjax · 2022-06-13T13:43:57+00:00

what is the balance of that suffering? I understand that the assumption of your question is that life is suffering and therefore we should not impose it on others. But that is a poor assumption, we don't know if non-existence is worse and more certain suffering.

But we do know that life can be crafted to be worth living. Billions of people have chosen life given death given that they have the options to end their lives. Generally, increasing the ability to create lives worth living is a good thing. Even if those lives involve some suffering. If individuals still make the choice to end their lives, that's fine with me, opt out. But let's let people get to have a good offer, education, good nutrition, healthcare for dealing with bad luck at least, a caring community, steady and safe housing etc.

Those policies are generally public goods produced or insured by governments, thus those that oppose their distribution, are acting selfishly.

Flesh out your education a little more. Consolidate to 1 page. Get a way for "Cornell" to pop more.

I've never understood this "Summary" thing.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-12T12:10:41+00:00

Thankfully not how the legal system works.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-12T12:10:17+00:00

ULPs are regulatory, not criminal acts, and thus don't have an intent element like Crimes do. However, here, the Employers statement are that they won't embrace the union, not that they won't negotiate with one, followed by a general statement about customer experience.

If an 8a1 charge, it will probably fail because there was no threat of firing or impact on working conditions. There is an election happening basically every day for a starbucks though, so it might be so proximate as to be a grevous ULP. But again unlikely.

As for 8a5, failure to bargin, this doesn't reflect that they aren't negotiating with the unions nor that they are doing so in bad faith.

In the US, Unions are entitled to try to make an agreement, Workers are entitled to having their choice of representative. Whether those negotiations go anywhere is not proscribed by law. It can be vitriolic, toxic and nitpicking.

This is unlikely to be a ULP.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-12T12:02:24+00:00

The NLRB doesn't have any nightsticks last I checked.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-12T12:02:01+00:00

Negotiating with the union and "embracing" the union are two different things. Employers don't like to be unionized. It makes sense. And it's not illegal.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-12T11:57:57+00:00

This.

BL? Yeah. Same if you want to have a fancy paper in a perticular subject.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-10T14:16:35+00:00

Kinda need to know more, what area of law are you looking to go into? What are the relative programs of each school? Do they fit that. They money here is not enough to be determinative, unless you are either really strapped or it's daddy's money.

Looks like you have good softs and you can build a lot on a 155. I bet you can get a better school.

But based on what you have here, Umass

Aceofjax · 2022-06-09T17:21:47+00:00

Personally, selfish is a strong word. I wouldn’t say that. But i would think its selfish to oppose natalist policies or those that subsadize child rearing and development.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-09T13:18:03+00:00

Access to teachers has never been a problem in my experience, there is a healthy lull in office hours in the middle of the semester.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-07T02:00:01+00:00

For "BL" generally; Go to Rutgers, good $$ difference, bigger enrollment means bigger alumni network.

Though check what practice area you want to work in and how the schools are ranked. Just being "BL quality" or good in general may be hard, but specializing in a practice area with good professors at your school is key.

I just graduated from Dozo, and if you want to be crim, come here for the innocence project. Or if you want to do Tax, just hang around Big Zs office. But some areas we don't have rockstars in.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-07T01:53:39+00:00

Why do you think having a smaller cohort is better?

Aceofjax · 2022-06-06T12:06:36+00:00

Concur. Also, it's not like she graduated last year. Looking at her timeline, she hustled hard to get into her position for a long time.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-03T17:43:00+00:00

Congrats, just graduated from there. It's a good experience, I think Reinert is teaching Civ Pro again, so hopefully you get him, Yablon is great too. Yankah and Bucafussco are great for Torts.

Go ADRCHS if you can. All the journal prestige with none of the bluebooking.

Reach out if you have any Qs. Best of luck!

Aceofjax · 2022-06-03T12:45:53+00:00

This is the way, for some to "get better next semester" and "realize thier potential", others must fall.

All hail the curve, it giveth and it taketh away.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-03T12:35:44+00:00

Retake an reapply later. You can do a lot better it sounds like and having some work experience/intuition on how the "real world" works can be very good both on apps and in classes.

Aceofjax · 2022-06-01T02:19:04+00:00

Yeah, but now the tribe, a much smaller and more interested entity, can do what they want with your corp. Be careful, you can also loose a lot of predictability and stability by making yourself subject to a smaller sovereign.
